@EUVisitors’s screening of Erase the nation, a documentary produced by EUVP alumnus @MarkVlasic, echoes the 🇪🇺’s unwavering support for 🇺🇦 while highlighting the critical role of cultural and public diplomacy in defending European values. “It’s incredibly important to highlight the intentional destruction of cultural heritage, including religious heritage. Full credit for this film goes to the director, Tomasz Grzywaczewski, and to every person who risked their lives to talk about what is really going on in the front lines of Russia’s war in Ukraine.” Join the live screening and discussion here: europa.eu/!nnfPwV #EUForeignPolicy #EuropeanPublicDiplomacyWeek

If you have an opportunity to apply for the European Union Visitors Programme (EUVP), take it. 
I am an alumni. I had the opportunity to be part of the programme in 2024 and it was a week well spent in Brussels. The EUVP is a tailor-made study where you get a blend of individual and joint activities and meetings with members of the European Parliament, officials from the EU Institutions, and other EU stakeholders. 
As staff of the African Union, it was particularly of interest for me to interact with peers from an organization that has a near similar stature to the AU, and to share with them experiences, priorities, projects and programmes of the AU and explore ways of enhancing our collaboration. During the visit I also had the opportunity to meet with a few Members of the European Parliament and to get a sense of their interests in Africa. And... I met many of their communication teams and a number of their communication projects are worth borrowing a leaf from. Great work. 
It is an intense week of useful engagements so if you get selected, clear your diary and wear comfortable shoes (very important). 
The programme has great coordinators who ensure your visit is meaningful. Piotr, Robert and the entire team are awesome. 
EUVP Alumni include former and current national political leaders, high-ranking government officials, academics, business leaders, young political leaders and opinion shapers from countries and international organisations outside the EU. 
Thats your plug for today. - eeas.europa.eu/eeas/european… Opportunity favors the prepared.

Continuing to work on close European coordination, today president @EmmanuelMacron debriefed EU leaders on his meeting with @realDonaldTrump earlier this week in Washington. Very useful to prepare our special European Council on 6 March, where we will take decisions on our support to Ukraine and strengthening European defence. #EUCO

As EU and Thailand will have their 5th round of FTA negotiations at the end of March, the @Europarl_EN Delegation for ASEAN led by Chair @wbeke had a discussion with the Chambers of commerce in Bangkok. A balanced FTA will generate growth and jobs for both parties.

Accompanied by Mr @AntoineRipoll, they explored EU-ASEAN relations, diplomacy, and policy priorities first-hand! 🇪🇺🤝 #NiceToMeetEU #EUVP2025 #EUinASEAN #InsideTheEU #DiplomacyInAction

A great privilege to take on the post of Deputy Head of Delegation for @EUintheUS, working with @EUAmbUS. I am excited to join Jovita and her dedicated team to reinforce a partnership that has prospered for over 60 years. I hope you will follow along during this pivotal time.

When we defend space, we are defending our economies. The security of our satellites is the security of our societies. And it is in every EU Member State’s interest that we address the challenges together. Extract from my speech at the #EuropeanSpaceConf ↓

Belarus: The EU is relieved to see Palina Sharenda-Panasyuk finally free. We share the joy of her family and hope for a speedy improvement of her health which deteriorated immensely in detention. We call on the Lukashenka regime to release all political prisoners.
